Hello Everyone! Thanks for swinging by. I have a great e-session to share today featuring Latoya and Alan. They both met at the hip Royal Peacock night club and the rest is history! They decided to have a portion of the shoot there since its significant to their relationship. Their beautiful young daughter joined in on the fun and the family shots turned out great! We truly had a great time. Latoya has been a big supporter of my work and I happy she decided to use me. Congratulation on your engagement guys! Check out their proposal story below. Enjoy!

The Proposal:

Alan and I always talked about marriage. Being together for so long, and raising our daughter, we knew that we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives. On Alan’s birthday I decided to take him out to dinner. Since I LOVE surprising him he had no idea where we were going until the night of. I wanted to take him somewhere that we’ve never been before and I wanted it to be nice. So we got all dressed up and headed downtown. We pulled up to The SunDial Restaurant and he was ecstatic. The SunDial Restaurant is one of the most romantic places to dine in Atlanta. With spectacular views and a rotating lounge area, I knew this was the perfect place to celebrate his birthday. After a delicious meal and drinks and good conversation, Alan wanted to “take a picture” standing on top of the rotating platform. I told him that we were not allowed to stand there but he was adamant. He called our waitress over and gave her his phone and asked her to take a picture of us. As we stood up he started talking, I was busy looking at the camera hoping that the waitress would hurry up and take the picture. He continued talking.. He said “I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you”…… That caught my attention I looked at him only to realize that he made the motion to get down on one knee and ask for my hand in marriage. With tears in my eyes, I asked about 100 times “what are you doing?” I could not believe what was happening. I was in complete shock! My surprise for him actually turned out to be a proposal for me! The entire restaurant started clapping and telling us congratulations. After the tears and the tissue, the waitress gave Alan his cell phone back and that’s when I realize it was recording. She recorded the entire moment. I was able to go back and re-live the moment, because everything was a blur as it was happening, I was very thankful she did.

Reflecting on that night I often think to myself, how unselfish of a man to make his special night about me. We are looking forward to more breathtaking moments.

Hello there! I hope you had a great weekend. Last week I shared Juliet and Bankole’s awesome Wedding which was a blast. However, prior to the wedding the Traditional Engagement ceremony was celebrated. Both families had the opportunity to honor the great Nigerian culture. I never get tired of these events. Check out a few images from the day. Enjoy!

Hello folks! Sorry for the break in blog posts. It has been very busy this summer. Today I have Juliet and Bankole (AKA Bank) on the blog (Check out their fun Engagement Session)! This wedding was special to me because it was the first time I’ve shot a wedding for two sisters. Juliet is Lauret’s sister and I shot her wedding a few years ago. It actually felt like I was shooting a wedding for a member of my family.  It was a great experience seeing so many familiar faces. Juliet has a few more siblings and I hope we can keep it going by having me shoot their weddings as well…lol.  This wedding was beautiful and felt very romantic.  Bankole and Juliet are definitely meant for each other and I wish them both a love filled and blessed married life. The wedding took place at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta . Check out some images from the day. Stay tuned for the traditional pictures! Enjoy!
